iMac for Not Yet Techies

"Computer Careers: With This Internet Enabled New Model Macintosh"

by Richard Stooker, President Info Ring Press and author of Secrets of Changing to a Computer Career

iMac is the "i stands for Internet access" version of the Apple/MacIntosh personal computer. Of course, all personal computers can access the Internet, but both Apple and Microsoft have learned that it's good marketing to emphasize the Net above all else. The iMac came out in 1998 and uses a PowerPC G4 Processor.

iMac comes with a G4 flat panel monitor and SuperDrive DVD for creating your own media files. The latest operating system is the Mac OS X, code named Jaguar, and it is considered very powerful -- unlike previous versions, this is basically a new version of Unix.

Your new iMac also comes with AirPort to support wireless PDAs and other such devices, Sleep -- which turns it down to low power when not in use, saving on your electric bill and AppleWorks, a suite of business productivity applications including a word processor, a spreadsheet program and a database program.

You also get FireWire ports for high speed peripherals, QuickTime, iMovie and the Palm Desktop operating system to support Palm handheld computers.

With iMac you also get three games: Nanosaur, Bugdom and Cro-Mag Rally

You qualify for iDesk, which is a virtual disk that stores your files on an Apple server which you connect to online. You'll want to use this because the one thing you do NOT get with an iMac is a floppy disk drive.

Next: IMAP4
